Face-Slapping System

Stacey's unusual and conflicting reaction confused Roland. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

When one was embarrassed, they should not feel delighted, right?

Look at the male employee, he was red as tomato and looked like he wanted to hide somewheres safe.

Now, that's the reaction I was talking about.

Roland could not help but re-evaluate something.

Was face-slapping actually meant to embarrass people who looked down on you?

Considering Stacey's reaction, that seemed to not be the case?

Roland did not withdraw the possibility of Stacey looking down on him. As even if she was indeed looking down on him, she should feel embarrassed and not feel delighted about it right?

However, Roland has no time to think about all of this at the moment.

He still needs to finish what he started.

He ignored Stacey and finally turned his attention to the male employee again.

Upon noticing his reaction, he could not help but nod his head in satisfaction.

'Now that's the reaction I was talking about.'

The male employee was as red as a tomato. His hands were trembling and he kept on fidgeting around, as if he did not know what to do.

Roland secretly laughed seeing his silly actions.

"You guys have commissions for every item you sell, right?" He asked nonchalantly.

"Y-yes, sir…" the male employee replied politely.

His current attitude was like the difference between heaven and earth compared to earlier.

After all, who would not change their attitude to someone who got a VIP card from Wolrd's Premium Bank?

Even having a normal account in the WPB was a symbol of both wealth and status. And now, this guy even has a VIP one?

'It's over. My life is probably over,' the man was dismayed beyond relief.

And as for the authenticity of the atm card? Who would dare to forge something like that? It was from the WPB after all. Death was the least of your worries if you were found out.

As an employee in a luxurious watch brand, of course, he knew what such an atm card meant.

Heck, even if it was not the WPB but another bank of lower status, if there was a 'VIP' sign on it, he would still be afraid to breath the same air as the other guy.

'It's over. It's over.'

This time, he was truly at lost at what to do. He just offended a big shot. His life was probably over.

Unfortunately, the man could not even be more wrong.

His life was not over yet, Roland doesn't have the ability and has the thought to that… yet.

On the other hand, hearing the employee's confirmation, Roland nodded his head.

"Alright."

After sayig that, Roland looked around and waved to one of the employee's around.

One of the employee's noticed him and approached him slowly.

"Yes, sir?"

Fortunately, the employee this time has a good attitude. Roland has a good first impressions of him.

"Give me that watch," he said as he wave the black atm card while pointing at the Jolex Yatch-Master watch on the glass cabinet.

Seeing the luxurious looking and famous black atm card, the man's eyes lit up as if he was looking at his own child who excelled at school.

His attitude became even more enthusiastic as he said, "Right away, sir!"

In fact, Roland was truly hesitating to buy the watch after seeing its price. However, the guy just kept on rattling in front of him.

He kept on looking down on Roland and kept on calling him a bodyguard. So, Roland got fed up with his nonsense so he decided to buy it just to rile and face-slap the guy even harder.

His plan was a success and the guy was now skulking in the corner as he pondered what to do with his life.

At the same time, he realized something amidst the ridicule of the male employee earlier.

Perhaps, one of the reasons why the System has given him the fund was all for situations like this.

The funds were given to embarrass and to face-slap people like this.

He needs to prove them wrong in their opinion and put them in their own place.

'Hmm?'

While the employee was happily retrieving the watch from the glass cabinet , and while the other one was regretting his actions earlier, Roland suddenly thought of someone as he turned his attention to Stacey.

'So, my interpretation of face-slap earlier was wrong? Face-slapping does not only mean to embarrass people. Rather, it was more like an act to prove them wrong by showing them that I could do it.'

'Could it be that Stacey was only doubting earlier that I could not pay for the watch, and hence, when she saw the VIP card, her opinion changed as it was the same as proving her opinion and assumptions wrong?' Roland thought.

If it was really like this, then it could explain why she was face-slapped even though she clearly was not looking down one.

About the fact that she was face-slapped 'silently', it was probably due to the fact that she was only thinking about in her head, and not speaking her assumptions or wrong opinions out loud.

However, Roland could still not forget the fact that her delighted smile was strange earlier.

"You alright?" Roland asked after seeing that Stacey had still not recovered from having red cheeks, yet.

Stacey slowly nodded her head. The fact that Roland has a VIP card from the WPB surprised her a lot.

However, instead of having the usual reaction like the male employee earlier, she was actually delighted that Roland has a VIP card as her assumptions about him being a secret mysterious person was now more or less confirmed.

The fantasy that she thought had crumbled, was actually not shaken at all. In fact, not only was it not shaken, her belief about the fantasy has strengthened even more.

"Well, thank you for your recommendation." Roland said as he laughed while walking towards the employee who was already at the counter. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

As for Stacey's matter regarding her having wrong assumptions earlier, Roland decided not to confront her about it.

After all, she was his guide for the night. And it was also just some assumption that she did not let it out of her mouth. She did not look down on him so Roland's respect towards her was still there.

At least, he hopes that it stayed that way for a long time.

…

After Roland left, Stacey's delighted expression turned ferocious as she stared at the male employee.

This man caused her to doubt Roland. She was not happy about it. It almost cost her. Her fantasy that she has been hoping to accomplish since young was almost ruined.

Her hateful glare made the employee tremble.

What's this? I have already offended that bigshot, how did I offend Miss Stacey too?

"You are not fit to be an employee of this luxurious watch store. Pass your resignation as early as possible before it's too late for you."

After saying her piece and letting out a small amount of steam, Stacey turned around and walked towards the counter where Roland was settling the bill for the watch.

However, before she could take two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at the male employee again.

"Also, I should tell you this. He's not my bodyguard."

Hearing that, the male employee could only cry in silence. Deep inside his head, he could not help but think, 'Damn you woman. Of course he isn't. How can your bodyguard be that wealthy and powerful?'

'If only clarified things immediately, none of this would have happened at all.'

The male employee while cursing Stacey inside his head: ╥﹏╥
